Policy
The officers are at all times subject to the policies of the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the rules and regulations governing employees of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department (PBGPD). A customer has no authority over police personnel and is restricted to providing only a general assignment of duties to be performed by the officer. Those rules never supersede PBGPD policy or procedures and employers of the extra-duty officers should be so advised. Extra-Duty officers remain under the exclusive control of the department and are accountable for strict adherence to department rules and regulations. Any conflicting rules of employers of extra-duty officers will be disregarded. The officer shall refuse to perform any duties deemed to be in conflict with the guidelines established by the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department. As determined by the department, officers may be recalled from extra-duty to on-duty status.
This permit is for law enforcement work only and does not exempt customers from obtaining other necessary permits for this event.
The City of Palm Beach Gardens Police Department is NOT obligated to provide extra-duty services. A permit will not be issued to any person, firm, or organization whose offices, members, business, or operations are questionable or for any event of a potentially compromising nature.
The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department officers are NOT permitted to receive cash from customers for any reason whatsoever.
